As you can see from the following, Portola Valley and Castle Rock State Park Foundation was founded by Stuart Langdoc back in 1991:

As you can also see from the following, Stuart Langdoc, not only incorporated this non-profit organization, but serves as a board member and its secretary:

Was this organization really founded to limit public access of CRSP? Again, like the Santa Clara County Park & Recreation Commission, this organization does not have one member engaged in any active form of outdoor recreation. Despite ratification of the Castle Rock Master Plan in 2001, there is still no walk-in camping, no new trails to the Underworld, and no CR climbing management plan for logical and necessary bolt replacement.

You'll also notice how Judy Grote, the President of the Portola and Castle Rock Foundation, is "also . . . President of the South Skyline Association Board", the local property owners' group that is adamantly opposed to a walk-in campground at Castle Rock, the same campground the Sempervirens Fund supports. They also want to eliminate any free-parking along Skyline Boulevard (CA 35) in front of Castle Rock State Park and Sanborn County Park (Indian Rock).

No wonder nothing ever changes or gets done at CRSP.
